SUMMARY
To determine position and speed in space, five reference points are essential: the x, y, and z coordinates, the time since the Big Bang, and the Hubble constant. An arbitrary reference point, designated as 0,0,0, is also necessary for accurate calculations. This framework allows for precise spatial positioning and velocity assessments in the universe.
PREREQUISITES
- Understanding of three-dimensional Cartesian coordinates (x, y, z)
